Some people seem to buy waterproof trousers as an after thought and very rarely give the same amount of thought to this as they would when buying a waterproof jacket. Like waterproof jackets the range of waterproof trousers at LD Mountain Centre varies greatly in terms of features and price so it's important to think about how and where they are going to be used. A lightweight pair of Gore-Tex Active Shell pants Like the Berghaus Paclite Pant will be great for fast and light walking and trekking but won't be durable enough for Scottish winter mountaineering when you might need a pair of Mountain Equipment Karakorum pants. So really buying a good pair of waterproof trousers requires as much thought as if you were choosing a top quality jacket to make sure you get exactly what you need.
